Command Reference Change Forward Switch
2-24
2.19 Change Forward Switch
Defines a key that will switch the user to the next session without entering local mode. In local mode, the
key functions as if the Forward command was entered. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with
MSS line editing or the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream,
so while it won’t interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would
have on local programs.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
Parameters
Port
MSS4 only. Specifies a particular port or group of ports.
Note: In the absence of the PortList parameter, the configuration will affect the MSS4’s
current port only.
PortList
Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with
integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or
dashes (for ranges).
character
Type a character to serve as the switch key. To specify a control character, use
escaped hex (\xx). For example, Ctrl-B (ASCII character 0x02) would be
specified as \02.
None
Clears the previously-defined Forward Switch key.
Defaults No switch

2.20 Change Gateway
Specifies the host that is to be used as a TCP/IP gateway between networks. If a connection to a machine
on a different network is attempted, messages will be directed to the gateway for forwarding. The MSS will
try to learn gateways automatically if none have been configured.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
Errors If a gateway is not defined, an error will be returned.
